Help with wireless internet connection...

Hi everyone! I have a new Latitude E6500. When I use the wireless network in my office, I have no problems. When I try to use the wireless at home, it connects to my home network and it's fine. But, after a few minutes, it disconnects and connects to my neighbor's weak signal. It never disconnects from the neighbors, no matter how long I use the internet.

Anybody have any pointers about how I can stop this happening?

Thanks in advance!!

You should open the wireless utility you are using and set up 2 different profiles--one for office and one for home. The setting for home should not allow searching constantly for wireless networks. Set it to always use your own home network. Make sure you have solid security, too--strong password protection. Look up Networking in Help for more tips.

Thanks, Mary G! That seems to have done the trick!
